Interesting opinion. But we all know what they say about opinions.

Do you deny that no planes were brought down in the US by shoe bombs before the shoe carnival was made mandatory in August 2006?
Do you deny that no planes are being brought down in other countries that don't have a shoe carnival?
Shoe bombs are now a known threat. I don’t often hear about threats from “pu36 explosive space modulator’s” either, but once someone tries to use one against an aircraft you can bet we wont allow them, or require that they be tested.
